  The aim of this study was to analyze the relation between home environment and motor performance of children. Twenty-four children aged between 36 to 42 months have participated of this study. The Movement Assessment Battery for Children – Second Edition (MABC-2) was used to analyze the motor performance; whereas, the Affordance in the Home Environment for Motor Development – Self Report (AHEMD-SR) questionnaire was used to verify the quality of children’s home environment. Data was reported through median and interquartile range, and spearman’s rank coefficient was used for correlations between variables. Results have showed low opportunities and stimulation for the motor development of children offered by home environment. However, this did not influence the children’s motor development. It is possible to conclude that for this sample the home environment had no effect on children’s motor development. Nevertheless, it is necessary that parents have better understand of the importance of the home environment and its potential to afford opportunities for children’s development

  O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar a relação entre o ambiente domiciliar e o desempenho motor de crianças. Participaram do estudo 24 crianças de 36 a 42 meses de idade. Para verificar o desempenho motor foi utilizado a bateria de testes Movement Assessment Battery for Children- Second Edition(MABC-2) e, para verificar a qualidade equantidade das oportunidades do ambiente domiciliar foi utilizado o questionário Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development (AHEMD). A análise estatística foi realizada por meio de mediana e intervalo interquartílico e teste de correlação de Spearman. Os resultados demonstraram baixas oportunidades e estímulos para o desenvolvimento infantil proporcionadas pelo ambiente domiciliares. Porém, esta carência não influenciou o desempenho motor das crianças. Conclui-se para essa amostra que o ambiente domiciliar não influenciou diretamente no desempenho motor das crianças.
